very many of them have the waxy skin,
dropsicai flesh, and '.puffed eyes, that are
indicative of serious kidney affection.
"Bright's disease is plainly written on their
faces. Since General Logan's death the sub
ject OF rheumatism is Icing discussed by tho
medical profession.
Every intelligent person, with any knowI-
e1ge of the human system, is well aware that
if the kidneys are in good condition all un-
necessary material is regularly carried of
by them. IL not, various acids, such as uric
acid, one of the chief causes of rheumatism,
are left in excess, creating deposits that cause
all sorts of chronic organic diseases. 1t
wouldseem, therefore. that rheumatism, like
dropsY, is not a disease, but the result of a
disease, and it is safe to- say that il the
stomach and kidneys are kept in b althful
condition, there will be no deaths from rheu-
matism.
General Logan was well aware that his
disease was Of the kidneys, and once ex-
pressed himself in indignant terms at the
folly of doctors treating him for rheumatism,
when it was the kidneys that caused his
attacks. The high living and the excuses in
all things prevalent among wealthy men in
large cities. especially i'll New York, is the
thief cause for Bright's disease, and the arts.
tocratic trouble known as rheumatism, even
as insufficient and improper food bring about
the same results among the very poor.
The above article, which we reproduce be-
cause of it's general interest, is very signih-
cant. The public believes that rheumatism
is an effect of diseased blood, this disease be.

to the general health, since they have no
nuthori ed specific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his real trouble
was, and he recognized the nonsense OF treat
ing the effects-the real seat of the disease
was the kidneys. Senator Sittig, of Illinois.
whose vote elected Logan Senator after four
months of balloting, tells us that Logan often
complained to him OF great distress in his
kidneys. Disease of the kidneys always
produces rheumatism, and besides that, 1t

These facts the public recognizes ever

reasons, will cot publicly acknowledge them
lest, perchance. ,omep roprietar.- medicine like
Warmers safe cure, now admitted to be the
only scientific specific, will get the benefit.
Fie on such bigntry! 1t bas been authori-
tatively stated time and again that there can
be no real sound health if there is any false
action of the kidneys. Jasu auce companies
refuse millions OF risks on this ground alone,
hence it is that there is III h universal popu-
larity given to the greai preparation named
"a popular 1ty that is ba 81 upon intrinsic
merit. .
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially in mattcrs over which
medical men admit they rave no power, too
often results very disastrousiy, but Of what
use to the victim is experience gained by IA
tai disaster?
How much better it is to be guided by an
unp1 ejudiced public opinionin such matters.
Had Logan been so guided, he might have
been spared many years.
